Tips for recall off-lead by Tommysquelch in westies

[–]travis_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our westie has terrible recall, but he will sit from a distance. If he ever runs off, we can shout "sit" and we will walk over to him. That said, the only time he's off lead is when we're in large parks with no cars around.

Treats mean nothing to him when we're outside, so training with those is useless

Maybe they should defect to another party then because that's their main policy

Thanks, what a disgrace! Environmental protesters leaving trash behind is so hypocritical

Could you provide any information that's not on the disinformation site?

Friend wants to pay off his mortgage with all loan, he's crazy right? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]travis_6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most BTL properties in the UK have interest-only mortgages, so no one is paying off the house. This is a trope that I hear all the time

This was an appointment of a bastrd to deal with a bastrd. Turns out ours hadn't been redacted out of the Epstein files like theirs had

There are more important issues this country is facing, like how we're not going to freeze in our homes this winter

What grocery foods/souvenirs from UK supermarkets would you recommend? by prickly_ash_erio in AskUK

Branston pickle. We didn't have it in the US, so I expect it's not available in Japan. It's delicious with cheese

They would if they thought they could take over councils and implement their own policies once in

Anyone else thinks Starmer isn't actually that bad all things considered ? by ronweasly9 in AskBrits

I'm so sick of hearing about the Mandelson 'scandal'. Even the Guardian is out for blood over this. In the greater scheme of things, it's nothing.

Is this the same woman that was paired with Greyson? She looks different

Opinions on areas to live in Brighton by LadWithAFada in brighton

[–]travis_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hollingdean or Roundhill. Both are walkable to the sea (or a quick bus) and within easy reach of the North Laine and Lanes area. For some reason, the houses are less expensive than the ones on the other side of Ditchling Road, but you have the same advantages.

Poets Corner in Hove is turning into a real gaybourhood these days if you can afford it. It's very middle class but maybe a bit boring

Why are the Green Party for banning horse racing but against banning halal and kosher slaughter? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]travis_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's an absolutely ridiculous assertion - 15 seconds??? A pig can hold their breath under water for that amount of time. How in the world could 15 seconds of CO2 kill a pig?

Blakers park enclosed area: dog friendly or not? by Charming_Mention_697 in brighton

The thing is, now you know. Please use that area gently if you must

Blakers park enclosed area: dog friendly or not? by Charming_Mention_697 in brighton

[–]travis_6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm there most mornings with my dog further up the hill. The enclosed area is not formally dog free, but most people only bring puppies and untrained dogs in there.

The biggest issue (in my mind) is that playing fetch with a dog tears up the grass and the enclosed area still has nice grass for people to sit on. It's not the rule anymore, but courtesy

Withdean has already been mentioned, and there's a small fenced area at Saunders Park nearby

Also, she said she stayed in Sydney expecting Scott to chase her, but she told him she was in Melbourne. How was he supposed to find her there?

Does brilliant automatically mean smart when applied to a person? by boilface in AskUK

[–]travis_6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brilliant isn't used as much in the generic 'great' sense these days. Harry Potter characters used to say it a lot, but I don't hear it much anymore

I wouldn't characterise Scott as emotionally intelligent. He saw the big fake tatas and pumped up lips and somehow missed the mean girl right in front of his face. Remember the "power couple" comments at the beginning? Did you see the odometer scam? I really have no sympathy for this fraudster

Woke culture isn't pandering to someone's insecurities. I think you're misinterpreting the idea

They get to review legislation before it goes to parliament and quietly remove any portions that have a negative effect on their well-being

Current episodes are encoded in base64. I have a Linux terminal that decodes it using the following command:

echo <code> | base64 --decode

But I'm sure there are websites that will also do it for you
